Text Any textual data included in the document The Old Churchyard Oh come, come with me to the old church yard I well know the path thru the soft, green sward. Friends slumber there we were wont to regard and we'll trace out their names in the old church yard. Oh mourn not for them, their grief is o'er weep not for them, they weep no more. For deep in their sleep, tho cold and hard their pillows may be in the old church yard. I know it seems vain when friends depart to breath kind words to a broken heart. I know that the joys of life seem marred when we follow their steps to the old church yard. But were I at rest beneath yon tree 's why should you weep dear friends for me? s' I am wayworn and sad, oh why then retard the rest that I seek in the old church yard? It's our friends linger there in the sweet repose released from the worlds sad bereavements and woes. And where should I rest with the friends they regard? in the quietude sweet in the old church yard. or (and who would not rest) s' We'll rest in the hope of that bright day when beauty shall spring from the prisons of clay When Gabriel's voice and the trump of the Lord shall awaken the dead in the old churchyard. [second page of song]: The Old Church yard 2 s' oh weep not for me for I'm anxious to go to that heavenly rest where no tears ever flow. s' fear not to enter that dark, lonely ward for soon I shall rise from the old church yard. Yes soon I shall join that heavenly band of glorified souls at my Saviours right hand. Forever to dwell in bright mansions prepared for saints who shall rise from the old church yard. I was working on this notebook in October, 1980 and had written the words to the "Old Churchyard" when a few days later my cousin Janette McMillon called to tell me that Maw Maw had died. She was in the Maryville, Tennessee hospital when while going to the bathroom she fell in the floor. A blood clot set up and in a few minutes she had a heart attack. She was crying "the bees are stinging." It was the pain in her left arm which I'm sure in Maw Maws mind she thought se was being stung. It seems ironic that this happened just after I had written this song, for it was her favorite of all the meeting house songs. They asked me to sing at her funeral but I could [not?]. This is February 28, 1984 and the memory of Maw Maw is still so sweet and sad that I often feel like crying.

Cut apples down to the core. The bruised spots are alright to use. Cut off bad places. Put apples in a vessel and pour hot water up to a little over top of apples. Turn on high and turn down in a while. Stir to get top on the bottom (to get well cooked). Cook till apples are done. Let cool. Stir while cooling if you want to. Strain thru colander till all juice is in a vessel. Then strain again thru a sack (old time flour sack) mashing what pummies and chaff is left from the first straining. (The juice needs to be fairly pure.) Take a dry glass and measure how many it takes, then measure the same amount of sugar and put it in the juice which is now in the vessel you'll cook in. Stir the sugar which is in the juice before [reverse]: placing over the fire. Turn on high if using electric stove. When it starts to boil and foam if it gets too high in the pan turn heat down till the foam gets lower so it won't boil over then turn heat back up and and use spoon to go around top of foam so it won't come over. Don't stir the juice. Sometimes the foam will go down when its about ready to come off. You can dip spoon and let some drip off and about tell if its thick enough. According to how many apples have been used it might take thirty minutes or less. Before cooking set glasses you will use for jelly beside the pan so that they will be fairly hot when jelly is ready. Put a spoon in each glass before pouring hot jelly so it won't break. Let jelly get cool before closing lid.

Text Any textual data included in the document Aunt Lou Brookshire Lula Holsclaw Brookshire was born into a bootlegging,singing family on Duck Creek, near Draco in Caldwell County. Her father and uncle sang many old songs and when she was young her and her sisters would sing the old ballads while on the look out for revenuers. Her sister Mary who knew most of the older ballads died several years ago, yet Aunt Lou as we call her was one of the most singing persons I ever knew. Only a year or so ago she had a stroke which paralyzed her left side so she'll never pluck an instrument again. In 1933 she won a great banjo pickers contest in Washington State. She's one of the singing Holy Rollers that ever lived. Besides being a folk singer, she is a poet and composer in her own right. Her brother Henry wrote two songs years ago which were eventually published in N.C. Folklore "Blockaders Trail" (which had an erroneous history of Henry) and a fragment of another composition of his about the 1916 flood in the Brushy Mts. He also wrote of the death of Florence Sutphin a girl murdered by Charlie Walker near the Lower Creek community on Highway 90 (the murderer was 1st cousin to the father of a girl I once went with). But Lou remembers many songs she heard as a child such as "The Little Mohee," "The Wreck of Old Ninety-Seven" (which she learned from her uncle in the 1st ten years of this century, being the longest, truest version I've found). "The Golden Willow Tree," "Three Little Boys," "Jews Daughter," "Gypsy Davy-O" [second page of entry]: She remembers part of "Edward" known as "Blood On Your Shirtsleeve," but adamantly declares there is a verse before the usual beginning "How come that blood on your shirtsleeve." She thought the tune to it was one way & decided it went to something else. It was the tune of the Yancey County version of "Fair Ellender" but she doesn't know that song, yet remembers a snatch of "He took her by the lily white hand And led her from the Hall. And with his sword cut off her head And kicked it against the wall." She remembered the 1st verse of "Jimmy Randolf" ("Lord Randall") "Oh where've you been rambling Jimmy Randolf my son. Oh where've you been a rambling my handsome young one I've been to the wildwood, mother make my bed soon, for I'm weary with hunting and want to lie down." I believe she must have known two versions at one time of "Sailor Boy" for at different times I've heard her sing certain stanzas 2 ways, coming up with an inconsistency when confusing the two. One: "Oh no kind miss, he sails not here. He got drowned in the deep I fear." "Oh no he does not sail with me. For he got drowned in the deep blue sea." She also knows scores of American folk songs, hymns, and cowboy songs which she learned over many journeys and staying all over the West and in California. Mrs. Brookshire has composed many songs and poems of her own. Her brother Henry needs a word as he is [third page of entry]: represented in the N.C. Folklore. Although I'm sure written in good faith, the article was erroneous in several details. His birth date was not 1878 as stated in the article, but 1891 on Duck Creek near Draco in Caldwell County in the Brushy Mts., not Dutch Creek. The details of the arrest were not erroneous altho the reason for the arrest was true. Although Mr. Holsclaw is a very upright, kind and religious man, in those days he was a blockader. At that time money was hard to come by and when stilling had to have a federal stamp and be taxed, the poor man could not afford the price and make a living. Bootlegging wasn't considered a shady trade in those days. Those who didn't sot themselves kept whisky for medicinal purposes and after Prohibition they couldn't even get it from the government. Many made their own, but for the public as a whole it had to come from somewhere. In the song, it wasn't a Taylor man, but a Naylor man concerned in the incident. In those days Mr. Holsclaw also wrote of the murder of Florence Sutphin and the ballad of Gladys Kincaid which took place in Lenoir and not Burke Co. (wrong--place was at Valmead beside Lenoir on the Blowing Rock road) but is not the version printed in N.C. F. Strangely enough ballads pop up from unlikely people. Rolf Ellison from Pottertown has known Mr. Holsclaws song and it is known in the mts of Watauga County. The N.C. Folklore version is evidently someones adaptation of name into a common folk lyrics showing how murders and incidents become so quickly diffused into folk tradition. Many people around Kings Creek still remember the 1916 flood and how many people were washed away and the family lost in the fresh, the subject of Mr. Holsclaws song which is still remembered.

Text Any textual data included in the document The House Carpenter We've met we've met my old true love We've met we've met he replied I've just returned from the salt salt sea And it's all for the love of thee. I could have married a Kings daughter And she would have married me But I refused the crown or gold And its all for the love of thee. If you could a married a Kings daughter I'm sure you are to blame For I am married to a house carpenter And I think he's a fine young man. Will you forsake your house carpenter And go along with me I'll take you where the grass grows green On the banks of sweet Relief. If I forsake my house carpenter And go along with you What have you to maintain me on That would keep me from slavery. [verso]: Aunt Lou Brookshire I have seven ships on the ocean wide All a sailing for dry land Three hundred and fifty jolly young men They're all at your command. She picked up her sweet little babe And kisses she gave it three Saying stay at home with your papa dear And keep him company. They had not been on the ship two weeks I'm sure it was not three Till she lamented in her lovers arms And she cried most bitterly. They had not been on ship three weeks I'm sure it was not four Till they sprang a leak in the lovers boat And it sank for to rise no more.

Text Any textual data included in the document The Little Mohee As I was out walking for pleasure one day In sweet recreation to while time away As I sat amusing myself on the grass No one should come near me but a fair Indian lass. She sat down beside me and taking my hand Saying you are a stranger and in a strange land But if you will follow, you're welcome to come And dwell in the cottage I call my home. The sun was fast sinking far o'er the salt sea As I wandered away with my pretty Mohee Together we wandered together we roved Till we came to a hut in a coconut grove. As this kind expression she made unto me If you will consent sir to stay here with me And go no more roaming far o'er the salt sea I'll teach you the language of the pretty Mohee Oh no my fair maiden that never could be For I have a true love in my own country And I cannot forsake her I know she loves me Her heart is as true as the pretty Mohee. So early one morning one morning in May When to this fair maiden these words I did say I'm going to leave you so farewell my dear My ship sails a-spreading and home I must steer. The last time I saw her she stood on the sand and as my boat passed her she waved me her hand Saying dear when you've landed on your own native shore Just think of the Mohee in the coconut grove. [verso]: Mrs. Lou Brookshire March 1968 And when I had landed on my own native shore With friends and relations around me once more I looked all around but none could I see That I could compare with my pretty Mohee. The girl I had trusted proved untrue to me So I'll turn my course backward far o'er the salt sea. I'll turn my course backward far o'er the salt sea I'll spend all my days with my pretty Mohee.
